The president urged Americans to “work together to remove the hatred that remains a stain on the soul of this country” after noticing Sunday’s Justice Department described the shooting as “a racially motivated act of white supremacy and violent extremism.”
Biden described the attacker as “a lone sniper armed with a living weapon and full of soul hatred”.
The suspected assailant opened fire at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, on Saturday, killing ten people and injuring three others. Eleven of the victims were black and two white, and there were already calls for gun control.
The president also traveled to Atlanta in March 2021 after a gunman shot eight people at three resorts in the area. Six of the victims were Asian women.
“There can be no safe haven for America’s hatred,” he said in the speech. “It has to stop. And all of us – all of us together – have to stop this. ”
But President Biden never made it to Waukesha, Wisconsin, in December after a man allegedly drove his car during a Christmas parade, killing six and injuring more than 60.
He also did not travel to Boulder, Colorado, after a gunman killed ten people at a grocery store in March 2019, or to Indianapolis, Indiana, after a gunman killed nine people at a FedEx facility in April 2021.
The president also missed a high school in Michigan after a gunman killed four students and injured seven others in December.
